First sentence: I really like animals. I like them a lot. Fifteen animals is what I've got. I've got fifteen animals. They're friendly and tame and I've given each one a special name--

Premise/plot: This counting, animal-themed book features a twist. A twist that is revealed as the protagonist reveals the names of his fifteen animals....I won't be spoiling here.

My thoughts: This one was over-the-top-silly. I liked it. Probably more than most of Sandra Boynton's other board books. I don't always love them. (Though I know they are supposedly always awesome.) ( )

Count the fifteen animals that have been given a special name by a boy who loves animals.

I had a cactus named Bob once. Sadly, we had to give him up. ( )

This is probably one of my favorite counting books! This story is silly and fun to read to the class. The cartoon pictures create a safe creative demeanor.

cute book introducing different animals (counting to 15) and what a little boy named them. cute for introduction to numbers.
